Denbighshire. An Unmistakable Declaration. The first meeting of the Education Commit- tee of the: Denbighshire County Council was held alt the Queen Hot, Chester, on Friday, Mr W. G. Doidid (Llangollen) being elected as chairman, and Mr J. E. Powell (Wrexham) wa,s •appointed1 vice-cbair ma n. Arising ouic of the conformation of the pno- ceediinigs of the Education Act inquiry, Mr Rigby (Llandyrnog) asked whieitheir thie confir- mation would! commit- them to the. principle that no raite aid should be granted ,to voluntary schools, for,, if so, he woull.,dl m,*o!ve an aim end- ment that tihialt particular resolution be not con- firmed. This was seconded. Mr J. W. Luimley (Oolwyni Bay) said they ought to make it peffeclcly clear thiat it was the initention of the county of Denbighshire not in any way to support voluntary schools while, th? Act was as it was, and, tleacheirs had to undergo reiuigiouis test examinations. Until this was done. away with, he thought it should be madte clear to school managers thialt no rai-.e should be applied to the maintenance of voluntary schools. The maitter could easily be. managed if the managers of voluntary schools would! only be reasonable with the Nonconfonmi^t representatives on the County Council. He felt sure, there- would be no difficulty if only those voluntary sohooIs were, handed" over to the County Council •uncond'i'ribnally, who would nciti require, anything from the managers and own,e.rs without recognising whtat rights they had in t'olse buildings. What difficulty cou/M 'there be if a rental were paid for the use of the voluntary schools? Those school buildings could, hie allien wad, be Ulseid for religious our- poses outside school hours: After same discussion, an amendment to the reports of the proceedings lieferr,ed to was re- jeoted, and the reports were: confirmed. It was resolved by 15 votes to 13 thialt Cheste'r be the future place of meeting. Sub-oamimiittees relating to higher education; and. elementary education were afterwards ap- pointed. • On rhie miotfior, cf the- Vice-chaimian, it was rVfSC+LV that it be delegated to the managers ot the respective: provided school districts this appoantmierer of a-ss;9tant teachers and' pupiil teamierls the powers and dutdieiS' of school at- tendance. cioanmntte.es that the payment of saj- artiels: be maldie thinouigh the- di'striclt clerk and that the mianaigers be authorised to incur ex- penidiitufrei upbn repair's to. the extent of ¡: 2 I.

The Education Act. Extraordinary Situation in Flintshire. SOMETHING approaching consternation has been caused in educational circles in Flint- shire by the announcement that the Board of Education have decided to postpone the "appointed day" from Jan. 1st to Feb. ist, and the probability of further and in- definite postponements still further compli- cates the situation. After involving a vast amount of anxious labour, all the necessary arrangements for the Act to come into operation had been made, and the upsetting of all these arrangements at the last moment is felt to be most pre- judicial to the interests of the education of the county. Among the public bodies affected will be principally the School Boards, which had made their calls upon the rating authorities under the assumption that they would cease to hold office after the 31st inst. They will now have to issue fresh precepts, and will be entirely without funds until these have been met by the overseers. In many cases matters requiring imme- diate attention have been deferred for the decision of the new authority, and these again will now have to be dealt with by the existing authorities. In several districts additional schools and school accommoda- tion are required, but nothing can or will now be done until the new authority takes office. On all sides awkward complications are in view, and the action of the Education Board has caused both indignation and vexation.
